Poverty Rebels
Since President Lyndon B. Johnson launched the federal War on Poverty in 1964, various policy analysts, politicos, social scientists, and historians have tried to evaluate its effectiveness, trace its lasting impact, and interpret its meanings. The question of success or failure has dominated much of this analysis, with many observers noting rather unremarkably that the War on Poverty failed to eliminate poverty in the United States.

Gay Student Services v. Texas A&M University
